FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Columbia Watertight™ II Jacket is a shell jacket designed for waterproof protection. It does not have built-in insulation and is intended to be layered over other clothing for warmth.

How do I make sure the jacket remains waterproof?

Regularly clean the jacket according to care instructions and ensure no fabric softeners or harsh detergents are used. Reapplying a DWR finish occasionally can also help maintain water repellency.

Can this jacket be used for high-exertion activities like running?

Yes, its breathable Omni-Tech™ fabric is designed to manage moisture during moderate to high-exertion activities. For very intense workouts, it's still advisable to wear moisture-wicking base layers underneath.

What are the dimensions when packed?

The jacket packs into its own hand pocket, becoming compact enough to fit easily into a backpack or daypack, though specific packed dimensions vary slightly.

What is the warranty on this jacket?

Columbia typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Columbia website or product documentation for specific warranty details.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood is typically adjusted using drawcords located around the hood opening, allowing you to cinch it tighter for a more secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside

This could be due to high humidity or intense activity causing sweat. Ensure the hood, cuffs, and hem are properly sealed. If the issue persists, consider if the garment needs cleaning to restore breathability.

Water is seeping through seams

Verify that the seams are fully sealed. Over time, the seam tape can wear. For minor issues, a seam sealer might help, but significant wear may require seam re-taping or replacement.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and a soft brush. A small amount of wax or graphite can help lubricate the zipper.

Care Instructions:
